Talents celebrated with a concert

The dancing shoes were on and the high notes were hit as two schools recently came together to celebrate the talents of their students.

Community national schools Scoil Aonghusa in Mallow and Scoil Chlíodhna in Carrigtwohill held a celebratory concert which began with all students from both schools coming together to perform the inspiring song ‘Hello to All the Children of the World’.

Scoil Chlíodhna students continued the good vibes with beautiful renditions of popular songs like ‘You Are My Sunshine’, ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’ and ‘Fly a Kite’ from ‘Mary Poppins’.

The students of Scoil Aonghusa provided more entertainment, with pupils from junior infants up to sixth class showing their talents through dance spectacles, poetry recitations, tin whistle compilations and an array of well-known songs.

The two schools are governed by the Cork Education and Training Board (CETB). CETB’s Chief Executive Denis Leamy said: “Both schools are continuously challenging and nurturing their students with one goal in mind; to bring out their full potential both personally and academically. Cork ETB looks forward to fostering this commitment in the years to come and to seeing the personalities of each student shine through as a result, just as they have done today.”
